West Rossdale Urban Plan

Western Front

An integrated mixed-use plan focuses on being a model for city development.

A broad range of residential building types (1500 units), live-work and commercial retail, respecting the Legislature through “background” design consistency and massing, and addressing the public realm with front doors.

Repurposing

It is an enriched pedestrian-friendly grid of streets and lanes to connect to the river, Legislature and Downtown. The focus is the river and repurposing the Rossdale Generating Station.
